The stall-feaorate corruptions which existed
under the former administration was one of the
leading issues in the canvass, two years ago, and
lu.ie in Wake aud in fact throughout the State
the whole subject was freely and thoroughly dis
cussed, and not a Conservative candidate was to
bo found who did not denounce it in unmeasur
ed terms ; bat now, Gov. Vance having gone
over to' the Destructives and secessionists, we
find gentlemen who profess to be Conservatives,
not only defending the system but actually the
recipients of the benefits flowing from this out.
rage upon the honest masses. The candidates
that have been put forward by the Desturctives,
in this county, voted against the system
and denounced it then, but now they are sup
porting a candidate for Governor, who has al
lowed it to be increased ten-fold. The people of
Wake voted against stall-federates and their cor
ruptions then, nd they will do the same thing
now.
Dilligent efforts have been made to arrive at
tho quantity of forage these bliade Colonels, Ma
jors, Cnptaioa Bad Lieutenants are permitted to
draw, but all the -subordinates positively refuse to
give such information, acting uo doubt under
the or lor of Governor Vance, for ha wall known
thut if tho people could be placed iu possession
of the real ficts, x regards theso stall-federate
privileges, which are enjoyed by hirnlf, stiff
mid ail the atkaobes and attendants, thousand
who now cling to hiiuVould dosert him an 1 vote
fjr Mr. Holden.
Tua keepers of the Stato crib refuse all infor
mation, but the following statement we think
will about cover the "forage" drawn by each offir
i-r with the rank of Major, per month, loaving
out forage for one horse,' which he is allowed to
draw under the present corrupt system of Gov
Vance :
30 lbs. bacon, value, $180,00
U bushels meal. " 60,00'
7"lbs sugar. " 70,00
7 lbs rice. " 14,00
lib noodles. " ,. 6,00
60 lbs flour. " 60,00
$390,00
Now add the forage for one horse to this, and
then toe salary, $150 we believe, and you have
the round sum of a Major's monthly pay, under
Governor Vance's stall-federate system ; and wa
want Conservatives to remember that the pioplg
have to pay all these bills. Just think of the
faot that seventy dollars has to be wrested from
the hard working masses to buy sugar to sweet
en the coffee of each Major that the Governor
has around him, for each month. The suffering
tax payer, in most instanoes, gets neither sugar
or coffee, and yet he must buy both for the
"shade" favorites of Gov. Vance. The pay of
a Cclonel is mneh larger, as he is entitled to
draw for three horses instead of oflo. The Aids
of Governor Vance must realize not less than ten
to twelve thousand a yeqr I Think of it tax pay
ers, and remember when you go to the polls that
as Mr. Holden urged reform in these abuses, two
years ago, so he urges it now, and if elected will
clean out the whole pack of favorites and save
millions to the State. If there are any little in
acouracios in onr statement we have only to say
it might have been correct, had' not the public
officers whose business it is to furnish such in
formarfbn when applied for in a respeotful man
ner, refused to do so.
It is ridioulous for Gov. Vance or his friends
to attempt to throw the responsibility of all this
extravagance, reckless corruption, and waste of
the people's money upon the Convention or Leg
islature, for the whole matter is with the Execu
tive, and he oan continue it or stop it at pleas
ure. It is well known in this city that when
D. II. Fowle was appointed Adjutant-General
he protested against the issue of " forage, " and
that thereupon a conflict occurred between him and
Gov. Vance, which resulted in the resignation of
the former. The law is now, what it was then,
and Gen. Fowle refused to remain in office be
cause the corrupt system of issuing forago to
State officers was pre stated in by the Governor.
Now we say to the people of North Carolina
that if this thing of issuing forage was wrong
under Governor Ellis and Clark, it is wrong
now, and as it is tueir forage that is issued, and
as they must sooner or later, by their own labor,
foot tho bills, it is their privilege is it is a sacrod
duty to put a stop to these eorraptiojs by vot
ing against the man who is responsible for it.
That man is Zebulon 3, Vatioe.
There are said to be 80,000 Yankee prisoners
at the crisonj Lb Georgia.
t .',, Virginia.
Xhcro are various rumors relative to tho war in
Virginia but as the telegraph tclhv'itfl awn .talc
in another column we will not speculate. We
did not oredit the story of Granl's ' having run
away from Petersburg when we first, heard it.
nor do we oredit it now. We do not believe
that the Yankee army in either drunk or denior
ilized, but that on tho contrary it is uu'ler good
discipline and will continue to fiht us with great
desperation'. Wc moo nothing to l made by
under-estimating an adversary Tho lo.s?i, in
killed, wounded aud prisoners, since the be
ginning of the campaign two mouths ao, i
probably .Jioitt equal, considering numbers, and
the attempt of tin; skulkern at li..im- to make it
appear that Grant is whippy and about to give
up is only to divert attention (rem their own
promises to help whip tho Yankees. This war
is a most serious business, and all the reports of
"reliable gentlemen" that wo have whipped and
routed the enemy amount to uotliing, in the es
timation of sensible iun. fo long as our own ar
mies continue to full back and our territory
grow" less.
If any news comes from Virginia before go
ing to press we shall five it, but should nothing
be received, as the wires are open to Richmond,
we may safely assume there is nothing very good
for us. We know uo tietjes, moral or mili'a
rv. that will justify us in representing things
.differently from what they nro. '
Look Out Fur Roorbacks.
Conservatives eaunot bo too cautious as to mis
representations and falsehoods, foi the Destructive
supporters of Vance will flood the country with
them from now till the election. Tho infamous and
malicious falsehoods that the Destructive support
ers of Vanoe are circulating, that the cannon on
the fortifications around this city had been spiked
by Mr. Ilolden's friends, has been traceu wc
learn, to a Secessionist, who is a zealous support
er of Vance. We appeal to all Conservatives
to l'ston to nothing that comes from such sources,
but keep quiet, be calm and when the time comes
vote for Mr. Holden, for Conservative principles
and f r peace.
Vane an 1 his sunrorte-ssre for perpetual wir,
while Mr. Holden and the Conservatives are f r

Blue lights to windward
A friend who was present an i heard Governor
Vance at Lenoir, Caldwell county, ou the 221
June, informs us that his speech was priueip illy
made up of efforts to reinstate himself with the
Conservative party and abuse of Mr. Holden and
ourself.- All Vance's efforts to regain the affec
tions of Conservatives ur to secure their votes will
prove futile, and his personal abuse" of Mr. 1
denand ourself will only damage him in the eyes
of all good men. Dignified statesmen never find
it necessary to resort to such uieaus to defend
themselves before the people, means which are
only employed by the vulgar ami djpruvc 1. Gov.
Vance is welcome to all he can make by person
al abuse of us.
Conservatives will remember that if they vote
for Gov. Vance they vote with and for John
Spelman, the Britfsti felon, Zekc Jones, Jim
Morris and nil the other deceptive, intriguing,
skulking secessionist in the State. Remember,
Conservatives, these men told you in 1 8(10 you
should havo peace and separation without fight
ing ; have they kept their word ? Witness the
maimed, the wounded and the dead, and answer.
Can you trust them farther? Vance is with
them and of them. Can you vote for per
petual war V
The leaders tell us all the time that wo are
whipping the enemy and that the war will soon
cease, and yet men are still conscripted, negroes,
horses, cattle and other animals are still impress
ed and the war goes on. We might alsosay
that men, women and ohildren suffer for bread,
but the pioture is black enough and we forbear.
The laboring, suffering masses will remember
that Mr. Holden is for peace.
- Soldiers and citizens will remember that Vance
is the pet of Davis, and that both are for war
and a " strong government, " while the people
are for civil liberty and personal freedom. Vote
for Holden if you want to secure these righu to
yourselves and children.
The Georgia line are about the same, we sup
pose, nothing bfcing received from there since our
last issue. Gen. Johnston has fallen back from'

FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF GEM. POLK.
From the Augustn Chronicle and Sentinel wc
learn that the remains of thn bite Lieut.-General
Podk were consigned to earth on Wednesday,
with al! the solemn ceremonial befitting the oc
casion. Tho line wr.s formed on Telfair street,
fronting the City Hall, betweyu 9 uud 10 o'clock,
and the procession began to niovp about Iu.
Pasoiog from Telfair through Washington to
Greono, up Greene, to Campbell through Camp
bell to Broad, down Broad to Mcintosh, out
Mcintosh to Reynolds, and so to St. Paul's
Church, the large column marched with slow
and measured step, proceeded by the Palmetto
Band playing sweet and solemn dirges, nnd oc
casionally relieved by martial music The cor
tege was made up in about the samo order as the
published programme the local troops act.ng as
escort. The scene was very imposing a3 well as
impressive, as tho long column moved down
Broad street, while thousands of people throng
ed tho sidewalks, and crowded tho windows and
balconico adjacent. The hearse bearing the re
mains was covcrad by the Confederate flags and
uecoratod,withwrcaths of flowers. -
The services at, Paul's were full of solemn in
terest. Bishop Elliott met the body at tho gate
and read the service, when the Silver Greys
funned a guard of honor and escorted the re
mains to the interior. After the congrega ion
entered, the choir chanted an anthem ; Bishop
Day read a lesson ; the choir then snng "I would
not live always." Bishop Elliott then followed
with a sermon from the text.' " The Master has
come and calleth for thee." Tho discourse is
pronounced by all who heard it to havo been
marked by distinguished, eloquence, power and
pathos. It may bo considered as one of the most
masterly pulpit efforts of this great light of the

CORN FORTH E ARMY-APPEAL TO TH1
GEORGIA PLANTERS.
At the request of Government functionaries
we address a very' solotnn appeal to the planters
of G corgia, one and all, who heve corn to apart
be it much or little, to deliver it at once to tht
nearest agent of the Government'. An un&mici
pated demand for Lee's army is now made upon
the commissary department, and it must be met
promptly by the patriotic planters of Georgia, or
that army oanuol be subsisted We aiv request
ed to state these facts in the plainest terms, and
to assure the people that there is no mistakt
about them. True, the growing crops are now
in :i eritioat condition from the grass, and tha tax
upon the planters' teams for agricultural labor it
very greit. But we are authorized and requesu '
cd to say that unless Georgia planter heed tail
call and oome up to the saorifioe it demands, they
may prepare themselvas to be dispossessed of tht
soil they cultivate by th" rude ana lawless haadt
of the public enemy. Each man must do hit part
and the man who neglects or refuses will not es
cape, exposure.
Iu full confidence, then, that the skulker will
be known and dealt with, let the pa riotio report
at once, without a day's unnecessary delay, to
the nearest commissary agent, how much corn ha
can i-parr, aud how soon deliver it. The ease ii
one of greit urgency, and let no time be lost or
effort snared. Now is the crisis of our fate, and
let every man put his shoulder to the wheel. Wt
append the following extract from a letter Iron
M j. Locke, chief commissary
In-onie' your agents to make one more appeal
to the phnttrs to seli their corn, receiving the
custnniury obligations thorcfor, and haul it to tht
J-.U1I p unis of delivery. If they cannot bring
iu iiiui'h. let them bring according to their abil
ity. This nny lie the last appeal that will bt
oi i le to them. Events hurry forward with fear
ful rapidity, and the fate of the Confederacy now
suspended n the scale of a balanoe. may bt,
nd probably w.U be soon decidad, for Weal or
f r woo.
This is no ti im to stop and talk about small
sacrifices wi:!i folded arms. A planter or farin
, r who will not sell now to ths properly constitu
ted authorities of the Government, without tht
cash in hand, is uo man. If they do not want
obligations or treasury nutes, in God's name, let
ilie.ni give away their produce if they are capa
ble of u spark of liberty .Macon Telegraph.
, At the critical juncture, when labor in the farm
is so es.sen'i illy nece.-sary for the production of
crops the farmer and his hands are taken from
the plow, how can they respond to an appeal like
the :.vove another year. Have we any assu'aot
that the war will close this year, and if not, is it
wis" nad wudent in us to act as if it would?
A pjed.
Tub Prick of Papkus. An old printer writ
ing to the Charleston Courier, thus delivers him
self : ".Newspapers are by far too cheap ! Noth
ing wc envoy costs so little. A few years back,
a dailv paper was worth an elegant pair of beets!
Twelve bushels of corn, peas or potatoes wat an
equivalent ! Sixty dozen eggs, thirty pounds of
butter, sevpntv-five pounds of lard or bacon
would barely pay a year's subscription. But lo !
now, the case is reversed. This is all wrong.
The paper should command a support for the ed
itor and his employees, andajlow at least, twenty
per cent, pron to replenish materials, So. To
do this, the price should be in proportion to every
thing needed by the publisher ; and no sensible
or just man will complain The mechanic and
fanner will pay readily, because fully able. A
farmer working one horse oan make seventy-fivt
barrels of corn, which at $50 per bushel and
is now even higher- brings $18,750. Certain
